With Pears on the Avenue now launching to the public, we wanted to revisit the project and take a closer look at some of the details that the condo will offer! Designed by Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects, Pears will be an 18-storey building that will sit on top of a three-storey lobby. The bold design of the lobby will welcome residents and their guests with a double helix shaped staircase which gracefully connects the main level to the third. The look of the staircase is similar in curves to the now famous Frank Gehry stairs at the AGO.
Pears will be home to approximately 130 suites with interiors designed by Munge Leung. Their work can be seen all over the City in places like Ultra nightclub and future condo projects such as The Residents at the Ritz Carlton and One Bedford.
In the coming posts we’ll be looking at other key features at Pears; including suite details, amenities and finishes!

We here at BloorCondos.com have been known to call many high-end condos in Yorkville “Gems”… but in this post when we say “Gems”, we really mean it! The BIRKS Toronto flagship store on Bloor (55 Bloor Street West) will have the first 131 diamonds certified by the Government of Ontario on display and for sale! From April 26th until May 1, 2010, the Ontario Diamonds will be sold as loose diamonds, and clients will have the opportunity to mount them whichever way they desire. According to a press release by BIRKS & MAYORS INC.:
“Each Ontario certified diamond comes with a certificate from the Government of Ontario, Canada indicating the diamond number, which is also etched in the diamond itself. Each diamond will also come with a BIRKS Diamond Certificate and laser engraving on the girdle with a maple leaf – visible with 10x power magnification.”
In addition to that flawless diamond, contact us to find an equally special condo!

Back in January we shared a story about Menkes newest project, “Pears On The Avenue”. Since then not much has been said…that was until their latest e-blast!
